The Story
The Antoinette Poisson studio is tucked away behind the Place de la Bastille in Paris. Run by paper conservators who have rediscovered a nearly entirely lost method of printmaking, they create some of the most beautiful paper memory boxes, notebooks and wallpaper we’ve ever seen. The patterns are carefully researched and inspired by original 18th century French domino wallpapers. Complex in design and imbued with a unique history, these pieces are treasures in their own right.
